The final tax bill Democrats got from Republicans is covered in handwritten notes — and senators are complaining it's unreadable

Senate Republicans sent the final version of their
massive tax bill to Democrats on Friday.

Democrats are complaining because the bill has
handwritten notes in the margins and is unsearchable.

A final vote on the bill is expected late
Friday.

Senate Republicans finally gave the final version of their
massive tax bill to Democrats on Friday, complete with
handwritten notes for last-minute changes and additions.

The final text of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was delivered to
Democrats on Friday just hours before an expected final vote on
the bill. But Democratic lawmakers said it was nearly unreadable,
with handwritten notes in the margin outlining some of the
tweaks.

Democrats also noted that the bill is more than 400 pages long,
saying they only have a few hours to digest the entirety of the
bill before voting on it.

Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin tweeted a screenshot of one of the
pages with a long, handwritten note in the margin.

"Trying to review the #GOPTaxScam but they are
making hand-written changes to brand new text as we speak – can
anyone else read this?" Durbin tweeted.

Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts shared the same scribbled
pages and attacked the state of the bill.

"The entire U.S. tax code is being rewritten at 6:30pm on a
Friday in crayon #GOPTaxScam." he tweeted.

"Any handwriting experts out there? I'd like to know what
this says before they call for a vote," tweeted Sen. Bob Casey of
Pennsylvania. "This is absurd."
